A fine young lawyer in Seabrook, named, Keith Russo was found murdered at his office desk, as one night he was working late. There were absolutely no clues left behind by the murderer who shot him down.
There were absolutely no witnesses to this incident and upon investigation, there looked to be no legitimate motive behind this murder. But, police after a little more investigation took Quincy Miller as the prime suspect, which used to be the client of Russo earlier on.
Quincy Miller was convicted and was given life prison. For more than 22 years, he suffered in prison and claiming to be innocent. But, nobody bothered to listen to him.
